Ingredients
  

  • 4 chicken breast halves
  • salt, to taste
  • ground black pepper, to taste
  • 1 cup all purpose flour
  • 1 egg, beaten
  • 1 cup Panko breadcrumbs
  • Vegetable oil, for frying
  • Katsu sauce, for serving
  • Rice, for serving
  • Soy Chili Garlic Broccoli, as a side

Instructions
 

  • In a plastic bag or between Saran Wrap pound your chicken breasts to ½ inch thickness
  • Set up a breading station with three shallow bowls holding flour, beaten egg, and panko breadcrumbs respectively. Before breading fill frying pan with enough oil to halfway submerge chicken. Turn heat in medium.
  • To start breading first sprinkle salt and pepper on each side of chicken and then place in flour coating both sides, dip completely in egg, and then put in breadcrumbs. Make sure to coat both sides evenly with breadcrumbs. Place chicken in oil
  • Chicken should sizzle in oil and start to brown slowly at the edges. Allow to cook for 7-10 minutes on each side to ensure it is cooked completely through. Flip when golden brown.
  • Once cooked through take out of the oil and place on paper towel lined plate to drain excess oil. Cook your remaining chicken in the same way.
  • Cut Katsu Chicken into strips and serve on rice with a side of your choice. Drizzle chicken with Katsu sauce.
  • Enjoy!
